Al Capp denies his character "Joanie Phoanie" looks like Joan Baez
Cartoonist Al Capp said on January 11, 1967 in Boston that if folksinger Joan Baez can prove that the character “Joanie Phoanie” (held by Capp) in his Lil Abner strip resembles her, “I feel sorry for her.” Miss Baez said in Honolulu on January 9, 1967, that she probably will go to court to get the character eliminated from the strip unless her attorney can obtain a retraction from Capp. (UPI Photo/Files)
